What do Catholic women want? Pope Francis opened the floodgates when he invited submissions to the Synod of Bishops to address major issues facing the church. Now, the women have spoken. Over 17,000 women, in fact, from 104 countries. It's the largest survey of Catholic women ever undertaken. With Dr Kathleen McPhillips.

What is the "care economy" – and how is it a hurdle in the way of women's equality? With author and social critic Anne Manne.
